Saya Sits Up

Lounging around

Shopping trip to Fred Myer


Cute twin moment in Fred Myer




Saya is 7 month old and she is now able to sit up for a very long time. She loves to sit and play with her toys. We put the nursing pillow around her and she rests by laying down when she gets tired and sits up again by herself when she's ready to sit again.

We had the ABA doctor come by last Wed and he made some suggestions to Sean's behavioral problems. He thinks he acts up at home because he wants attention and the best course of action to take is ignoring the bad behaviors. If he hits Noah, for example, pay attention to Noah and completely ignore him. It can be very hard because our first instinct is to discipline him. We are trying it anyhow. We have to pay more attention to kids now and getting stuff around the house seems impossible. We'll try this method and hopefully we don't have to be as vigilant in the near future. With this method, naturally Noah gets a lot of attention because he is the most well behaved. I am glad we are able to reward Noah with the attentions he deserves.

It's COLD outside! The high today was in low 40s according to the news, but it felt like 35. In fact when I drove Aly to the gym class in the morning, it was 34! It's going to be even colder in the next several days. I am glad that at least it is sunny and no snow.

Amy let me borrow her "Twilight" book last week and I was quite sleep deprived! Initially, I was planning to read one chapter per day (there are 24 chapters), but from about chapter 3 I was sucked in and could not stop reading. Needless to say, I am done with the book already. I will buy the sequel "New Moon" this weekend. I am a rebel and normally do not get into stuff that is "current", but I lost my battle this time! It's easy reading and let me escape from my kids and chores.

Our neighbor, Kevin and Jen, had their second son yesterday morning. He was 35 weeks but weighed whopping 6 pounds and 15 ounces!! I am very happy for them for the safe arrival of their baby. Jen had complications from mid pregnancy and was on the bed rest. Next up is another neighbor, Neal and Sarah. Their baby daughter is due in three weeks. Happy news all around on our street. I cannot wait to meet all the new babies in the neighborhood!

Saya is great! She looks like Shawn so much. I like the background of the Campbells, so Xmas!
